Aside from the nationwide implementation of curfew on minors, the President-elect Rodrigo Duterte plans to replicate what he started in as mayor Davao City 14 years ago. Duterte banned smoking in government-owned vehicles, establishments, particularly enclosed public spaces, public buildings, and public outdoor spaces.

According to GMA News, all cancer patients showed interest and hope that once incoming president Duterte assumes his seat on June 30, he would implement as soon as possible the nationwide ban on smoking in public places and establishments.

In an interview to NVAP President Emer Rojas with the State of the Nation with Jessica Soho, he said that Duterte knows exactly how it feels to be sick from smoking due to his Buerger’s disease.
